IOWA (R): A new University of Iowa poll of likely Iowa GOP caucus participants shows Mitt Romney continues to hold a commanding lead in the state. The GOP numbers: Romney - 27%, Rudy Giuliani - 11%, Fred Thompson - 7%, Sam Brownback and Tom Tancredo tied with 4% each, Mike Huckabee and John McCain tied with 3% each,Others - 10%. Talk about a total collapse, but did anyone ever think we'd see the day McCain was polling at a negligible 3%.

[working on more info to show where Dr. Paul's support stands]

You're a little slow on this one, boss.

Those numbers TOTAL... 59%. 69% including "other".

So the REALITY is that 31-41% is NOT represented here.

Either of which beats EVERYONE else hands down.

According to the article, the numbers only add up to 69%. So, if Ron Paul was NOT part of the "others 10%", that means that maybe his numbers are actually 31%...

That would mean, wonder of wonders, that he's in FIRST PLACE?????? One can only hope!

Romney 27%
Rudy Giuliani 11%
Fred Thompson 7%
Sam Brownback 4%
Tom Tancredo 4%
Mike Huckabee 3%
John McCain 3%
Others - 10%.

Was RP not included in polling?

JUST posted there, but I realized later (after you pointed it out--I'm quick that way ;) ) that we've already discussed it.

[paulitics]

others? do they not want to list Paul, tommy thompson and Hunter's results. 10% is substantial.

[Will]

Yup, they left his name out of that particular part of the poll. Either that or they simply left it out of the published results...

Here's a fun little tidbit that they left out of the press release of that poll:

Likelihood of Changing Preference
How likely is it that you might change your mind and end up caucusing for a different candidate than the one you support now?

Republicans
VERY LIKELY 13.8%
SOMEWHAT LIKELY 59%
